Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ lbs chuck roast
- 2 oz. butter or olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup red wine, dry
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 meat bouillon cube
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 carrot
- 4 oz. celery stalks
Cauliflower mash
- 1 ¾ lbs cauliflower
- 3 oz. butter or olive oil
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the chuck roast into pieces, about 1" cubes (2.5cm). Sear the meat in batches over high heat in a dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Chop onion and garlic finely and add to the pan. Lower the heat slightly and cook for a few minutes more.
- Add wine, water, bouillon cube, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme.
- Bring the stew to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer on medium-low for 1-1.5 hours. Slice carrot and celery thinly and add halfway through.
- Prepare a cauliflower mash while the stew is simmering away. Start by trimming and rinsing the cauliflower. You can use both the stem and leaves. Cut into small pieces or florets.
- Parboil in lightly salted water for about 5 minutes or until soft but not mushy. Drain and discard the water.
- Add butter and use an immersion blender or hand-held electric mixer to mash the cauliflower to the desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Serve beside the stew on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
